On Management and Humans

Life is a roller-coaster (See previous post) where there are twists, turns, ups and downs.

During the course of last week I experienced a few things that were negative and I have to admit, they got to me. Friday morning I started the day with little prospects of things improving, changing for the better or affecting my life in a positive way.

Then out of the blue, against the run of play and completely unexpected, something happened to me that changed EVERYTHING.

The Raising of Lazarus, (c. 1410) from the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, Musée Condé, France.A miracle is an event attributed to divine intervention. Sometimes an event is also attributed (in part) to a miracle worker, saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature. Others suggest that God may work with the laws of nature to perform what people perceive as miracles. Theologians say that, with divine providence, God regularly works through created nature yet is free to work without, above, or against it as well.

A miracle is often considered a fortuitous event: compare with an Act of God.

In casual usage, “miracle” is seen as any event that is the result of an action by God and may also refer to any statistically unlikely but beneficial event, (such as surviving a natural disaster), or simply a “wonderful” occurrence, regardless of likelihood, such as a birth. Other miracles might be: survival of a terminal illness, escaping a life threatening situation or ‘beating the odds.’ Some coincidences may be perceived to be miracles.

While I was down in the dumps, I heard a song and the words appealed to me… (Before the happy event)
